True to its name, the Annapurna meals programme is now serving free lunch and dinner to the poor and needy, especially migrant and daily wage workers, in these testing times.
From just 40,000 meals a day earlier, the State government’s Annapurna meals programme has now been scaled up by more than three times and is currently serving close to 1.5 lakh meals a day in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits. More importantly, the lunch and dinner are being offered for free and all this has happened in less than a month.
